This sausage lentil soup is really filling with the addition of sweet potatoes – they add fiber and a nice texture as well.

If you don’t like sweet potatoes, you can do regular potatoes. And if you would prefer to leave the sausage out, you can definitely do that.

Any variety of lentils will work in this recipe, but if you use red lentils, the cooking time will be shorter and they are definitely mushier than green or black lentils.

Instructions

Saute onions, carrots and garlic in olive oil, over medium heat until softened.

Add sausage, and cook, browning on all sides. Once the sauce is cooked, remove from the pot and slice. Then add the sausage pieces back to the pot.

Pour in broth, one cup water and scrape up brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Add lentils and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Cook on low for 30-40 minutes until lentils and sweet potatoes are tender. Check the liquid level - if it gets too low, add a 1/2 cup of water.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy with gluten free crackers or bread and butter.

This was so good, perfect for a fall evening! I found this recipe on Pinterest, and I made it for me and my family, and my ma immediately said, “This one’s a keeper!” I doubled the ingredients, except for the sausage, and I also added a can of rinsed and drained cannellini beans. I made bread to go alongside it, and we were all happily full! Can’t wait to have some for lunch tomorrow! Thank you!

Delicious! My picky 4 and 6 year old boys loved this. I did need to add more liquid… I think I may have cooked it too hot. Even though it was covered, all the liquid got soaked up by the lentils or evaporated. I just poured in more broth. I also dpinkled in a little Rosemary and thyme. Yummy!

I made this a few weeks ago, and am getting ready to make it again. My 2 year old loved it and so did it. It heated up very nicely during the week as well… Can’t comment on how it freezes as there were no leftovers :) Thank you…
